April 2-Back to the start
We started from the farm on September 2, 2006, and here we are home again on April 2, 2007. Exactly seven months. It was the perfect second honeymoon and I completely recommend taking one. We loved the motorhome, the people we met, and the adventures we had. Now Gene is back to work, I'm trying to get our home unpacked, and Elsie is in heaven chasing geese at the farm. Quite a culture shock. We will probably just live in the motorhome for awhile until I get the house ready for us. I'm sure we'll be spending every free moment driving up and down I-5 to watch Caroline grow until we get to meet little Toy sometime in May. We will certainly drive Caroline and Marc crazy, but we are totally excited about our next adventure as Gramma and Grampa. Everyone keeps asking us what was our favorite spot...and that's a tough question to answer, but here are my votes:
Best beach: Topsail Hill State Park, Florida
Best town: Charleston, South Carolina
Best food: Dinner at Uncle Phil and Virginia's house
Worst food: Thelma's in Atlanta, Georgia
Best history: Little Bighorn, Montana & Gettysburg, Pennsylvania & Concord, Massachusetts
Best news from home: Caroline and Marc told us that they were "with child" on September 11 (only 9 days into the trip!) while we were in Williamsburg, Iowa.
Funniest drives: Smugglers Notch, V.T. & Manahattan, on a dark, rainy night.
